"If we deny Him, He also will deny us." 2 Timothy 2:12

Sometimes we deny Jesus our affections.

The world gets hold of us; those whom we love entwine themselves around our hearts—the things of time and sense begin to be pleasant and sweet to us—we gradually get carnal, cold, and dead.

Then He will deny us—that is, He will not drop His love into a soul that is preoccupied with an idol.

If we are cold to Him, He will be shy with us—and if we are negligent of His favour and His grace, He will requite us by withholding them.
